An emotional press conference happening in St. Paul Thursday where the families of those who's loved ones were killed by police are announcing they have filed a lawsuit against the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.

Toshira Garraway's finance Justin Teigen was killed in 2009 and she says they want answers.

"I look at my son every day to know what they did to him, and that the BCA was a part of the cover up," says Garraway. "I pray that each one of our families get the justice that we deserve. And I believe in my heart that we will."

They said the BCA broke Minnesota's data practices law by not providing them information requested from completed use of force investigations within 10 days of their request.

A total of five families are involved in the lawsuit with some family members waiting over three years for information.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension did not comment on the lawsuit.
